Recreational marijuana use is now legal in several states, but Florida is not one of them. (Floridians prefer their drugs a bit more bath salty, thank you very much.)
So when a South Beach woman with the punny Twitter handle of Rosa_Sparkz turned to Twitter in her search for weed, she got the wrong kind of attention from local authorities …
"Somebody bring me weed. I’ll pay for it," Ms. Sparkz tweeted yesterday.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office quickly replied, "Where should we meet you?"
In just three hours, the exchange received 9,000 retweets and 7,000 favorites.
Rosa didn’t miss a beat, replying, "Follow me back so I can DM you the address."
Obviously, there were no legal repercussions and the Sparkz reports that she’s enjoying the spotlight.
So we guess the lesson here is – go ahead and use social media to try and score drugs. The worst case scenario is you’ll get your 15 minutes of fame.
Then again, you never know what might happen in Florida.
This is the same state where one dude got arrested for tickling police officers and another got two years in prison for having sex on the beach.
Never change, Florida. Never change.
